Front Porch Friday: Spring Edition

Here are a few things seen from my "Front Porch" lately. (Click here for the Front Porch inspiration!)

Seriously delicious bruchetta and eating outside on a beautiful Carolina spring evening....

One smart bird picked a pretty spot for its nest in a dogwood tree!

Happy Weekend!

Case Closed!

Remember the Tale of the Mailbox Lizards? Yep, waaaaay back in December, there was a sneaky lizard that got in my apartment.

Ellie found it last week. The lizard was already dead. I have no idea where she found it...but she was really excited about her catch. G.R.O.S.S. Thank goodness my dad was staying with me and could get rid of it once and for all.

(This picture is deceiving- the lizard really was bigger than this image depicts!)

Hiatus.

I hope everyone is having a very Happy Spring! I've been rather busy with work conferences and well...life. I miss blogging though and am working hard to get back into a regular writing routine. So where have I been?

St. Patty's Day in 5 Points! It was the first time I've been since college...and still lots of fun and good music. The Dirty Heads were awesome and now on my iPod!

One of my work conferences was in DC and marked my first trip back since I moved almost a year ago. It was great seeing friends and eating at a few of my favorite places! I still haven't found any where else that makes Panang Chicken like Urban Thai!

My friends introduced me to a new DC restaurant called SEI. Everything was delicious, but especially the Asian Pear Sangria!

I had not seen Shira since she left for South Africa last year and we had an long overdue reunion!

Other than that, I've been glued to my new iPhone over the last week or so. That's right! I finally took the plunge after being without a smart phone for a year...it was time! I'm loving it even more than I thought I would! I'm welcoming your app suggestions!

So the Braves are back on my TV, daylight savings has kicked in, and it's going to be in the high 80's this weekend.....I'd say all is right in the world again!
